A pervert used his mobile phone to send pornographic images to a woman on a train before masturbating in front of her.

Hassan Ahmed targeted the 33-year-old woman with his Bluetooth device on his phone, as she went to work on the underground between Northwood and Wembley, St Albans Crown Court heard yesterday.

"She was clearly targeted." said Miss Evison. "He sent her five pornographic images from his Bluetooth phone and then went to see who had received them. The carriage the young lady was travelling in was not particularly full and she was sat on her own.

"Having sent the images he proceeded to sit diagonally opposite her and masturbate in front of her.

It was really all her fault ... by not wearing a burka ... and so inflaming his senses. I haven't looked in my copy of the Koran to check ... but she seems to have got off lightly ... shouldn't she have been stoned to death?
